C is for Cookie..... NOT

In my house C is not for cookie. It is totally for CHOCOLATE. I love chocolate, every kind. Hot chocolate, chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate cake, chocolate fudge pops, chocolate pretzels, well you get the picture. I could go on forever about chocolate things I love forever. I'm just realizing I have a lot of addictions. Chocolate is yet another. But one of my all time favorites is Hershey Kisses. For Christmas a few years ago my kids gave me the best present EVER. It is a Hershey Kiss shaped cookie jar that I always store Hershey Kisses in. My obsession runs deep. My husband one year for my birthday took me on a bus trip to NYC to see Phantom of the Opera. We walked around the city before the show started. What did my wandering eyes see but the Hershey store. Well you know I had to go in and take pictures. I have been to Hershey Pennsylvania many times but had no clue there was a store in NYC. We took pictures and of course bought Hershey kisses and my husband even bought me a charm bracelet with a Hershey kiss on it to remind me of our day together. My youngest son Nash who is Autistic realized one day that Hershey kisses stop hiccups. So whenever we have hiccups at our house we eat one, ok maybe two. He also shares my deep love of chocolate. The smell of chocolate and hyacinths together always remind me of Easter. It's not Easter at my house until I smell that. It just bring back happy memories to me. So in looking back over the years I can honestly say that Chocolate was usually present when I was happy. Chocolate just make me happy. I think everyone should eat chocolate, then maybe we would have a happier world.
